Excellent point Barty, it seems that people here see that while in real life they can't as openly discuss their problems as they may not even get a real chance for their voices to be heard or that people will pay attention to them. Yet on wiki chat and speeqe once you post it it is there. And usually the darker more emotional comments break through and are responded to more. This most likely did not occur on shoutbox because of rules set up for it, it was all about Redwall. But now that we really have less to talk about with Redwall(The series being over and all) that we are less likely to talk about it, I mean what really is there left to discuss? The series is over so there is nothing new really coming up. Also with the speed of the new chat rooms(From what you said above it took a bit longer to talk) conversations happen a bit faster and end more quickly.

Honestly we can't much do anything about these dark issues and people's problems coming up, it is not nessisarily bad to talk about them and maybe help said person through them. But one thing we can do is to in between these conversations try and find actual things to talk about. It shouldn't just be "Hi, how are you doing?" If you want to talk about Redwall then just bloody talk about Redwall! I for one loved the friendship of Skarlath and Sunflash amazing and I loved it very much, see I did it right there. If you want to have a conversation about something more casual or Redwall itself then just start talking about it. But don't make people stop talking about their problems, it is better to deal with a fist now than a gun later on.

But for the sake of all of us just talk
